Got out this morning before the sun came up. Went to a small woods lot where I've found a few coins in the past. Got an iffy signal at 5 inches and pulled this 5 dollar gold piece out. Searched for 2 more hours and no more coins. It was getting hot by then so headed home a very happy man.

That's alright all I know for sure is I found it this morning and it is what it is.

Congrats on your first gold coin! Maybe an old house burnt down in those woods. The coin does look like it was exposed to heat. At least it wasn't melted or deformed.

The light conditions were so poor, I didn't know what I had for a few minutes, when I saw the Indian I was pretty sure what it was. It was kind of disbelief.

I can't stop looking at it...
I blow up the pic with the coin in your hand, and imagine that it's me holding it.

I want one so bad.

When my buddy found the gold dollar I really never thought I would find a gold coin, but you never know what the next swing will give you. Good luck
